Summary

Monoecious evergreen trees of podocarp-like foliar habit. The leaves are more freely spaced, more perpendicularly inserted and more irregularly spreading than in Pectinopitys, often spreading and semi-drooping all around most major shoots and hence scarcely ranked. The leaves are large in contrast to both Prumnopitys and Pectinopitys. The long, narrow leaves, often with somewhat descending tips, are a particularly distinctive feature of Sundacarpus.
